Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs)

          This WebQuest is oriented to undergraduate students who are studying English Language Teaching (E.L.T) and want to become English Language Instructors or Facilitators. This, with the purpose of introducing them to recognizing the importance of Virtual Learning Environments in Teaching English as Second Language (T.E.S.L) & Teaching English as a Foreign Language (T.E.F.L) approaches. By having a short experience designing a class in Zunal.Com, it is possible to realize that this educational tool is useful not only for short lessons in the teaching-learning process, but also for longer ones. Actually, the time invested in the design of a WebQuest depends on the contents, tasks and materials that you would like to use and apply on your students' engagement to the learning process. As a personal opinion, this website is of great importance to be implemented in educational systems; even though, many people do not know anything about it. This, with the intention of encouraging educational systems' members to more different educational environments (Online Education) that attempt to attend the 21st century skills (Critical Thinking-Communication-Collaboration-Creativity), and at the same time, to promote the use and the implementation of technology in the teaching-learning process as long as possible.
